I am taking my Trent Howard thoughts that he could be lighting in a bottle because of his location, lack of exposure. If he took up to coaching quickly, he has the frame and potential to be something significant. I look at his early career numbers and think he could be a solid left handed mid to late rotation starter or at worse a middle relief pitcher.
